Hello Wildcat Families!

My name is Tyra Bonner and I am the 7th grade counselor for students whose last names begin with A – R. The 2025-2026 school year will be my first year at Rocky Hill Middle School and my first year as a School Counselor. However, I started with MCPS in 2018 serving students in the areas of special education and restorative practices.

I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Communication Studies from The College of New Jersey, where I was a member of Lambda Tau Omega Sorority Inc., and a Lambda Pi Eta Honor Society Inductee. In 2025, I received my Master’s of Education in School Counseling from Bowie State University where I graduated with honors, and as a member of The National Society of Leadership and Success.

I was born and raised in New Jersey. However, in 2016, I moved to Maryland which has given me opportunities to serve as an EBB site director for Montgomery County Recreation's Youth Development Department, present at the Governor's House, contribute a book chapter on restorative practices with Kendall Hunt Publishing Company, and more.

I love singing, dancing, listening to music, napping, trying new restaurants, relaxing at the beach, playing volleyball, and hanging out with my friends and family.
